Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Pernell Whitaker: Who wins and Why?


Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Pernell Whitaker: Who wins and Why?


As part of our podcast we have been going over some fantasy fights.  These are the fights that everyone wishes they could have watched.  On this weeks show, we will go over what may have happened between Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker.  


The fight would take place at 147 and both fighters would be at their prime.  It could be argued that Whitaker's prime was in the 135 pound weight class, but for this fight, he will be at 147 - I guess it could be argued that both fighters prime could be at 135.

 
 




Who has the speed advantage?  What about defense?  What about offense?  Better Chin?  Stamina?

There are a ton of variables to consider when breaking down these type of fights.  What about competition - who has fought better competition?  Has Whitaker fought anyone like Mayweather or vice versa?

I'm looking for help on this one.  Facebook me or tweet @ringside73 and let me know your thoughts!!
